Back in 2020, Donna Marie was introduced to Matt through her best friend (and one of her MOH's) Amelia. Donna had expressed interest in Matt. After a few hours of video chatting with Matt in Donna Marie's basement, they followed each other on Twitter (now X, but is forever Twitter to me). The next day, Matt messaged Donna Marie directly on Twitter, and the rest is history. They began speaking 24/7 and video chatting when they could. Matt still lived in Maryland at this time. After a few months of getting to know each other online, they met in person at a Burger King for the first time, and that parking lot is where they had their first kiss. Matt, not so long after, accepted a job in Horsham, PA, not only for employment, but to be closer to Donna Marie. A few years later, after moving in together, getting to know each other's family and friends, and falling deeply in love, Matt proposed to Donna Marie on Christmas Day in 2023 in front of her parents, brothers and her niece and nephew.
